I currently weight train 3 nights a week and focus mainly on my upper body. Since starting to improve my fitness I have lost 3 stone and am currently at a comfortable weight.

However, even though I am comfy with my current weight, I am carrying excess weight on my chest .

Basically, the workout I am currently doing isn’t really doing anything about this, and I would like to ask if anyone can suggest an exercise that will allow me to cut weight from this area.

Is it best to focus on building muscle with heavy reps or concentrate on doing more, lighter reps?

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

You can't spot reduce. Work your whole body, lower body also (squats and deadlifts) for maximum benefit. Fat reduction, however, is mostly a function of diet. Eat a caloric deficit and you will loose fat in a pattern determined by your genetics.
